Tight lower bound on geometric discord of bipartite states

Abstract

We use singular value decomposition to derive a tight lower bound for geometric discord of arbitrary bipartite states. In a single shot this also leads to an upper bound of measurement-induced non locality which in turn yields that for Werner and isotropic states the two measures coincide. We also emphasize that our lower bound is saturated for all 2n2\otimes n states. Using this we show that both the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and WW states of NN qubits satisfy monogamy of geometric discord. Indeed, the same holds for all NN-qubit pure states which are equivalent to WW states under stochastic local operations and classical communication. We show by giving an example that not all pure states of four or higher qubits satisfy monogamy.
